After starting education here at Hannam University, all the matters concerned with immigration and visas should be handled by the Center
for International Relations (CIR). Thus when you have a problem with your visa status or any other questions, please visit our CIR office.
We would be pleased to help you.

All foreigners remaining in Korea over 90 days must obtain a Certificate of Alien Registration from the Immigration Office and complete
the Alien Registration within the period. Application for the Certificate of Alien Registration costs 10,000 KRW (about US$9) and requires
three passport-size photos.

Alien Registration Card can be reissued after reporting in case of loss.

Students who wish to extend their stay in Korea beyond the period of their visa should apply for a visa extension prior to the expiration
date of stay otherwise they would be fined for violation the law. Students who have completed their course here are also eligible to apply
for an extension of visa, one year for M.A. students and two years for Ph.D. students after completed their coursework. For those students
who are continuing their studies here, it’s a relief for them that they don’t need to worry for the extension as the CIR office handling
regarding this matter. If you wish to leave temporarily and re-enter Korea within the period of stay given, you are required to apply for
a re-entry permit before leaving Korea. However, people, who fall under the following categories, are exempted from this.

1. If you are a national of the countries below, you are exempt from having to apply for a re-entry permit : Surinam, The Netherlands,

2. If you have a multiple Korean visa, you don't have to obtain a re-entry permit, but only on the condition that you return to
Korea within the period of stay given.

※Note: If you leave Korea without a re-entry permit, you must get a new Korean visa to return to Korea even if your period of stay has not yet expired.

Foreign Students

In order to study in Korea for more than 90 days, you need to apply for a D-2 student visa. A student visa can be obtained at Korean Embassies and consulates,
usually overnight. It can be extended here in Daejeon without having to leave Korea.

• Note 1: If you already received a C-3 visa (short-term permission for general purpose) instead of a D-2 visa,
you must change your visa status within 30 days after arrival.
• Note 2: There are two types of visas; one is single entry, the other is multiple entries. If you want to travel abroad during
your exchange program in Daejeon, we recommend a multiple entry type of D-2 visa. The embassy or consulate will issue you a single entry visa
if you do not specifically request a multiple entry visa.
• Note 3: If you want to study the Korean language, you should apply for the D-4 visa.
